I woke up today and found snow perched on the ground
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
So when the leaves were trembling
Frozen trees were standing in a lonely row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in
I had a love in summertime with summer-colored skin
And not another one in town my darling's heart could win
But when the sky turned traitor cold
And bully winds did rub their noses in the snow
She got the urge for going and I had to let her go
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter's moving in
The warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
Now all that dies is staying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flurrying and flapping through the naked sky
They got the urge for going
They've got the wings to fly
They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in
I'll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
And ask her just to stay another month or so
But she got the urge for going
I guess she'll have to go
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter's moving in
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
I hate it when we're not together
I really miss you so
I just want to be with you
Everyday, and every night
Cause I'm so in love with you
Can I please
Live with you for the rest of my life
Cause I hate it when we're not together
Chorus:
When we're not together
It tears me apart
When we're not together
It just breaks my heart
I want to be with you
For the rest of my life
You will always be number 1 in my life
I need you now
I want you now
Cause I hate it when we're not together
Every time I'm with you girl
My heart pours out to you
You fill me up with sweet love
That only you can give to me
You're all I need
In my life
I want to make love to you
And be with you
All night long
And everday for all my life
You light up my world within
I really need to see you now
And kiss your lips
And every night
I dream sweet dreams of you
I see you now
Sitting next to me
I'm never alone
You're always there
By my side
To lift me up when I am down
Look in my eyes
I'm saying to you
I never want to leave you girl
You're all I need
You will always be my baby
Chorus:
Cause when we're not together
I miss your smile
I miss your kiss
And I sure miss your loving touch
You're gentle touch
Feels so good
Touch me everywhere my love
I love you so
Never want to let you go
I just wanna hold you in my arms
I just want to be with you
From this day on
I want to see you everyday
Now this song
Is almost through
But before it ends
Let me ask you this question
I love you so
Will you marry me baby?
I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I want to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloon
We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone
And there's something on the tip of my tongue
Oh oh oh oh
Well it's easy to see from the far
And it's easy to be on your guard
But it's harder just to be who you are
Oh oh oh oh
When all these people who will lead you down
The back of the track
They're on your back
They will try and tear you apart
But believe and you will see
That there's no reason to doubt
Then you will find
You can do much better than that
If you think of all the things that you feel
All the voices in your head that you hear
It's a mystery that we are all still holding on
When all these people who will lead you down
The back of the track
They're on your back
They will try and tear you apart
But believe and you will see
That there's no reason to doubt
Then you will find
You can do much better than that
If you see me hit the ground
Don't come near, don't make a sound
I was walking along in the sun
Taking pictures of everyone
And there's something on the tip of my tongue
I met a girl in L.A.
The million dollar kind
She was all for all or nothing
She was open all the time
But when I called her number
Her mother's on the line sayin'
You've no business
As God's my witness
With a child as young as mine
So make sure that she's old enough
Before you blow your mind
She may look like she knows enough
But look in her eye
And if so
Let her go
You'll let her down in style
I met a girl in Paris
She talked like Vera Lynn
And her eyes were full of dew drop
The moment I walked in
She was awfully nice
The kind that likes to win
But if I'd been wiser
A whole lot wiser
Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something's telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
I'm too cynical
I'm just sitting here
I'm just wasting my time
Half a million civillians gonna die today
But look the wrong way
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick it in the bag
Stick it in the bag
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it
Don't feel it
Something telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
But have a nice day
Then read it in the headlines
Watch it on the TV
Put it in the background
Stick in the bag
Stick in the bag
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
Don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
The beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
So much for an intervention
Laura and Franny were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Franny said
Tell Laura I love her,
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do
That cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her,
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
And in the chapel where Laura prays
For Franny who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her,
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her.....
Take me away, take me away
You said that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing now
Now that I need you
You're going away
Everyday sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
But it doesn't matter anyway
You're gonna get yours any day
And while you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as others see
Now that I need you
You're going insane
Everyday sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away
Take me away, take me today
Or I'm never gonna get away
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of one more rock star bleeding out
Now that I need you
You're out of the frame
Day by day, sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Take all the goods from all the bads
And tell the people that you've gone away
Now lift your head up to the sky
And now you can tell apart the black from the white
And you wish the time they treasure dear
And my only thought is that they could be right
Well look, there goes another year
About as distant as a satellite
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel Safe - so Safe
So Safe
The world's a small child in the dark
And my mind's the same place that it's always been
The monsters seem to fade so fast
Upon the waking of another dream
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel Safe - so Safe
And I feel safe, I feel so brave
I'm not afraid of anything they've got to say
If you're okay, because your tucked away
Don't go astray
You've got to be just who you are, who you are
When I was young things didnt last
My only cares went to the price of sweets
Now I'm more older I can laugh
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francois Truffaut
Robert Zimmerman and De Niro
Paris, Texas, end of the world
New York, New York, good bye, girl
And they meet on Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central, oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down, down beneath the ground
And it's a new day, it's a new dawn
In New Amsterdam
The stranger in the moonlight
Looks stranger in the moonlight
And they meet on Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central, oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down, down beneath the ground
It's a new day, it's a new dawn
In New Amsterdam
And we meet on Bleecker Street
Or the Park that is Central, oh no
I watched the sun go down
Down, down beneath the ground
And it's a new day, it's a new dawn
Oh my friend
We have spent
So much time looking for someone to blame
'Cause we're the same
And jealous games
Take up time we could spend on other things
Oh my friend
If it ends
Let us go and then not look back again
We can't be
You and me
Taking ourselves much too seriously
But out in space
A million miners work upon
The night's coal face
But all I see is black
And all the stars look back
At me
Oh my friend
What a friend
I'd have thought you'd have stayed here till the end
To take a bow
Draw the crowd
We're just words in the sand at high tide
But out in space
A million miners work upon
The night's coal face
And all I see is black
And all the stars look back at me
Oh my friend
We should spend
Some more time looking from the other end
'Cause we would see
So clearly
We blame ourselves as much as we blame we
We blame ourselves as much as we blame we
We blame ourselves
I wake up to find you lying awake
With your hands in your head,
You cannot run, can't escape from the things
That you said.
And you can tell anybody,
Anybody who comes,
You can tell anybody.
But the damage's done,
The new day's begun.
One night can change everything in your life,
One night can make everything alright.
One night can turn all your colors to white,
One night - it's easier said than done.
Turning and turning but never returning,
To what you once had,
Learning to care for the ones you hold dear,
But it's too...yeah it's too bad.
One night can change everything in your life,
One night can make everything alright.
One night can turn all your colors to white,
One night - it's easier said than done.
All that I am
All that I am
Lying beside you as cold as a statue,
Your hands are still warm,
Trying to wake you as daylight
It breaks through the eye of the storm
So you can tell everybody,
Everybody who comes,
You can tell everybody,
But the damage is done.
The new day's begun.
One night can change everything in your life,
One night can make everything alright.
One night can turn all your colors to white,
One night - it's easier said than done.
One night..one...one night...one...
One night - it's easier said than done.
Memories fill your harbor
History to be made
Jealousy in the cupboard
You with me until the grave
Mid-life krysis, you invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare
Everyday is like the movies
Third world war on the rise
Take it in the city
Making love to get high
Mid-life krysis, you invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare
I waste my time, I waste my
Don't waste my time, don't waste my
I waste my time, I waste my
Don't waste my time, don't waste my
Little Jane, say you're in love with me
Say it yourself
Maybe then you'll have some children
Maybe you ain't have one
Mid-life krysis, you invited everyone
You can't wake, you can't wake from this nightmare
You invited everyone
What's so wrong?
Why the face so long
Is it over?
And where you going that
You no longer belong here?
And distance tells you that
Distance must come between love
Where have you been Luv?
When the mistake we made
Was in never having planned to fall in love, Luv
Singing this song
Singing along
Makes it easier for me to see you go
But in doing so
I'm letting you go
It only serves to show me
That I'm still in love with you
Singing this song
Singing along
Makes it easier for me to see you go
But in doing so
In letting you go
It only serves to show me
That I'm still in love with you
So what's so wrong?
Why the face?
So long
Are you changing?
And where you been to that
You no longer remember?
And distance tells you that
Distance must come between love
Where have you been Luv?
It's just the chance we took
Having never planned to fall in love, Luv
Having never planned to fall in love, Luv
Having never planned to fall in love, Luv
Do it to me
Do it to me
Do it again
Takin' me high
Takin' me low
Takin' ma friends
Think I'm a fool
Leavin' the school
Bending them rules
But do it to me
Do it to me
Do it again
Mid-summer nights dreamin'
You might treat me right I
Had too much to drink
Don't ask me now
Head in the sink
Do it to me
Do it to you
Do it to them
So much to see
So much to do
So little time
You're breakin' ma heart
You're makin' me cry
You're stealin' ma soul
You don't even try
But do it to me
Do it to you
Do it to them
Mid-summer nights dreamin'
You might treat me right I
Had too much to drink
Don't ask me now
rain on the brain
now there's flowers in your window
she well she's so strange
i don't know anything about her
but if it's all the same to you
here's what i'm gonna do
i'm gonna write a song
gonna sing it to everyone
and then i'll sing it to you
cos it was you that wrote it too
this could be the last train
search within yourself for feelings
everybody's got them
you left me on the shelf
and no there'sno one to rely on
but if it's all the same to you
here's what i'm gonna do
i'm gonna buy a gun
gonna shoot everything everyone
and then i'm coming for you
cos it was you that drove me to
this could be the last train
woo woo
woo woo
woo woo
woo woo
rear window with the room in the hair
and on her jacket there's a picture in white of che guevara
as he sits beneath the tree
but that's not important
but he looked a bit like me
if you took all the little feelings in your heart
and took all those little feelings all apart
Where is your mother
Where is your father
Two little children
Locked in the cupboard
Into the wide world
High on the highwire
What would you give to fly away
Away, away, away, away
Girl with the flower
Boy with the hammer
Lost in a forest
On another planet
Find me the exit
Find them the way home
Find all the love they took away
Away, away, away, away
'Cause your head is a brick wall
And your heart is a football
And your eyes broken windows
When you cry
It's a good day to die
And your head is a brick wall
And your heart is a football
And your eyes broken windows
When you cry it's a good day
'Cause your head is a brick wall
And your heart is a football
And your eyes
It's a good day to die
To die
To die
dear diary
what is wrong with me
cos i'm fine between the lines
be not afraid
help is on its way
a sentence suspended in air way over there
dear diary
what else could it be
as nightshade descends like a veil under the sail of my heart
be still don't stop until the end
dear diary
what is wong with me
All these visions in my head
Should have gone to bed before the watershed
some are alive, some are dead
makes no diferrence when they're in your head...head
Keep the door open a crack
so I can see them when they attack
some are white, some are black
makes no difference when they're on your back
And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop driving
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
And my eyes wide open
Count the sheep jumping the fence
so I can see tee pees when I'm feeling tents
disbelief hung in suspense
Eiderdown is my own defence
And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop driving
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
And my eyes wide open
All these visions in my head
Should have gone to bed before the watershed
some are alive, some are dead
makes no difference when they're in your head
And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
'Cause the day is dying...dying...dying
And my eyes wide open
When will you carry me home
Like the wounded star in the movie?
When will you carry me home
Take it back to the start when you knew me?
'Cause when you talk to me that way
I'll be a million miles away
I guess, it's just another day in love
We're battleships drifting in an alley river
Taking hits, sinking, it's now or never
Overboard, drowning in a sea of love and hate
It's too late, battleship down
When will you figure it out
That you're not always right, little darlin'?
When will you figure out
That it's not worth the fight, little darlin'?
'Cause when you can't think what to say
You go and throw it all away
I guess, it's just another day in love
We're battleships drifting in an alley river
Taking hits, sinking, it's now or never
Overboard, drowning in a sea of love and hate
But it's too late, battleship down
But you're too smart and I'm too dumb
With no heart in the middle
We're battleships drifting in an alley river
Taking hits, sinking, it's now or never
Overboard, falling into the ocean
Ship to shore, drowning in a sea of love and hate
Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight
Show me what you want it to be
Tell me baby cos I need to know now because
My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
If I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby, the reason I breathe is you
Girl you got me blind
Oh pretty baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
It's not the way I planned
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cos I need to know now because
My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
If I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know?
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe that you will be here
Just give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
If I'm not with you I lose my mind Give me a sign
All of the king's horses
And all of the king's men
Couldn't pull my heart back together again
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two
'Cos all I need is you, I just need you
Yeah you got the glue
So I'm gonna give my heart to you
I had a premonition
A movie in my mind
Confirming my suspicions of what I would find
It followed me to L.A., down to Mexico
Came in through the back door
At the start of the show
Still all I need is you, I just need you
Yeah you got the glue
So I'm gonna give my heart to you
Oh was a perfect day
Oh in a perfect way
You know, something had go
You left me high, you left me low
Now as I lie in pieces
And wait for your return
The sun upon my forehead
It burns baby burns baby burns
An eye on my horses
You've slept with all my men
I'm never gonna get it together again
Still all I need is you, I just need you
Yeah you got the glue
So I'm gonna give me heart to you
Yeah you got the glue
And there's nothing I can do
Yeah you got the glue
So I'm gonna give my heart to you
Cheers, thanks for everything
You hung me out by my heart
You're just so selfish Jean
Yes, you are
Hey you threw it all away
By holding everything in
Hey Jean, don't rock the boat
When you can't swim
Well, a perfect understanding
Of the finer things in life
A quite alarming knack of knowing
When to twist the knife
Oh, selfish Jean
Here's to you who read everything
Left it out on a shelf
There's no one else to blame
Except yourself
Well, a perfect combination
Of good etiquette and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits
Wired to a car alarm
Oh, selfish Jean
Well, I'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's so sad to see you go
Things are high and things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you've got nowhere to go
Well, you could spend the night with me
There will be no guarantee that I'll be here
In the morning
Or any time that you call
I hear you snoring, Jean
Through the wall
So hey, here's to everything
To peace and love in our time
Ah Jean, the slate is clean
I guess we're fine
Well, I don't expect a miracle
Not asking you to change
If you can't see me happy
Well, just look the other way
Oh, selfish Jean, oh, selfish Jean
They were following me
They were following everyone
They had visions of me
Holding hands walking in to the sun?
Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
When you did it to me
I was already in the ground
And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Take a picture of me
And show it to everyone
And no more pictures of you
No more love, no more setting sun
Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
And when you did it to me
I was already in the dirt
And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
I had a nightmare
I lived in a little town
where little dreams were broken
and words were seldom spoken
I tried to reach you
but all the lines were down
And so the rain began to fall
on this little town
...on this little town
The little people
had very little left to say
their words had all been shortened
It didn't really seem important
And I had a feeling
that you were very far away
but then a little voice inside me said
"you'll never get away from here"
And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
of course it doesn't matter how you say it
I'm all out of luck
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away
Well we had opinions
but now we all think the same
we never look at one another
only when the other suffers
And I thought I saw you
But it was just another face
Plastered on a blank horizon
running in the human race
And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
of course it doesn't matter how you say it
I'm all out of luck
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away
And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
I'm all out of luck
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away
throwing it all away
throwing it all away
Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
And I'm back here in the rain
Oh and you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now
Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence
He's singin' a song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Oh singin' just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what is the use of changing if all we've shared can't last
I can change, I swear
Oh see what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days
Oh, I know I can find you
Oh in somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way
A change in the weather is known to be extreme
What's the use of changing horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind
Oh with a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart
We've been round the block
And we're getting on fine
But you don't know what I'm like
And I looked at the clock
And it was way past the line
Still you don't know what I'm like
We'd spend a good time
Trying to have a good time
And for all of the time it really seems ok
You're eventually lost and I'm happy because
You don't know what I'm like
You lived in my shoes
And you stayed at my flat
Still you don't know what I'm like
And it's .......... what you think about that
Cause you don't know what I'm like
We'd spend a good time
Trying to have a good time
And for all of the time it really seems ok
You're eventually lost and I'm happy because
You don't know what I'm like
And you don't know what I like
Now I'm on the TV
And you're on the phone
Still you don't know what I'm like
And I found someone new
And she's taking me home
She knows just what I'm like
We'd spend a good time
Where we have a good time
I think I found a place I want to stay
You're eventually lost
And I'm happy because
You don't know what I'm like
You don't know what I like
You'll never know what I'm like
I'm so lonely
God won't know me
I can hardly get up
I sold my halo
Back in April
Now I can't hold my head up
So ring out the bell
I'll fly where there's someone to tell
My shoulders are colder since I fell
Someone see me
Feel me breathing
Someone get me closer
If I see sunrise
And screw up my eyes
I don't feel so lonesome
So ring out the bell
I'll fly where there's someone to tell
My shoulders are colder since I fell
I'm doing fine
I'm getting by
Tell me what I should do
God knows why I'm
Watching the sky
It's so blue
One fine morning
Without warning
I'll go through the
Blue sky
Until I do I'll
Wait for you
So I can get this right
So ring out the bell
I'll fly where there's someone to tell
My shoulders are colder since I fell
So ring out the bell
I'll fly where there's someone to tell
My shoulders are colder since I fell

Never see you coming around
They know they got their heads screwed on
I'm standing in the middle of town
I know I might never come home
Just standing where I am with all the people passing by me
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in with the bus and motor-car
I must be sure these are the signs
Cos I've been here a million times before
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Bringing you round
Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Cos I was fine till you came along
You tell me that the tears of a clown cloud
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind
So far away I wanna be
That's not as close to you and me
The things they call our destiny
Now why do you have to pick on me at all?
My walls are coming down
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Coming around
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, dragging you down
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down
It's coming around
I see you girl
And you look so fine
And I wish
I could help you
Make you mine
I caught your eye
As you caught mine
And I walked right on over
And I sat right on down
But when you spoke my heart sang
You're beautiful
Just beautiful
The light is on but no one's home
You're cutetiful
Just beautiful
Don't speak or you will break the spell
I see you boy
And you look so fine
And I wish you could teach me
If you just had some time
I caught your eye
As you caught mine
And I walked right on over
And I sat right on down
But when you spoke
My heart sang
You're beautiful
Just beautiful
The light is on but no one's home
You're cutetiful
Just beautiful
Don't speak or you will break the spell
Cameras adore you
Mirrors they emplore you
Gentle men explore you
Or you
Or you
You're beautiful
Just beautiful
The light is on but no one's home
You're cutetiful
Just beautiful
Don't speak or you will break the spell
You're beautiful
Just beautiful
The light is on but no one's home
You're cutetiful
Just beautiful
Don't speak or you will break the spell
The end

I'm a little boy
In the world today
Trying to live his life
In a grown up way
Sometimes I get so scared
That I can hardly move
But I'm a little boy
With a lot to prove
Somedays go by so fast
Sometimes I wonder
How long will this young boy last?
Now I'm an ancient train
Going down the track
I always make my way
Never turning back
Because my wheels are old
Sometimes I ride real slow
But I'm an ancient train
With a place to go
I used to ride so fast
Sometimes I wonder
How long will this old train last?
Sometimes the song goes fast
Sometimes I wonder
How long will this old song last?
Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive don't want to stay alive
When you're twenty-five
Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freedy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Now television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks
Oh man I need TV when I got T Rex
I'm a dude dad
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
All the young dudes

Boogaloo dudes

Now Jimmy looks sweet though he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule it's a real mean team
But we can love we can love
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
It was such a drag too many snags
Well I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Is there concrete all around me
Or is it in my head
Yeah
I'm a dude dad
All the young dudes

He turns his light out
He turns his eiderdown
She's in his bath robe
He's in her dressing gown
And he feels down
Whenever she comes around
Like the big movies
Like a big coloured clown (?)
He's looking dead good
She looks him up and frowns
And he feels down
Whenever she comes around
Oh he feels down
Today is the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees and all
The bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
Is bright as bright second light
Is bright oh god I hope I'm alright
Cause I'm gonna cry
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There's no devil's haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb
To climb or step around
But there is a slide show and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There is no devil's haircut in your mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slidesshow and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
She's so strange
And she wore a black moustache
And pilfered all the petty cash
She went to Birmingham
She'll soon be in the can
She's so cruel
And she knew what just what to do
And while the cats were all sniffing glue
They played their silly games
And now they'll take the blame
What she'd done
And she didn't know quite what she did
And they told her that she better had
So now she starts to cry
Without a reason why
She's so poor
And only now she's looking back
Sees her story on a paperback
What will become of her
Dearest darling, look at me
Stuck (a)way up on an old oak tree
Looking down and as far as I can see... (a nice deep breath taken)
Dearest darling, look inside
Come with me and we'll walk for a while
And I'll define with you beside
Me beside you beside no one else will do besides
Dearest darling when we wake up
Don't be cold and turn away, love
Cos there's nowhere that I'd rather be
Me beside you beside no where else I'd be besides
Dearest darling time will tell us
If we'll fill up our empty wells
But until then we're by ourselves
Me beside you beside no one else will do
Everyday I wake up alone because
I'm not like all the other boys
And ever since I was young
I had no choice
But it's OK to lead me on
I must admit it's not much fun
To be led on by such a one
As you are
As you are
As you are
And ever since I woke up I felt the net
Was lifting me out of the sea
And even when I'm sinking I feel the need
But it's OK to lead me on
I must admit it's not much fun
To be alone with such a one
As you are
As you are
As you are
And ever since a long time
I felt the rain
And there was no danger
And no more strangers
When the day is done
Oh Molly Molly
Will I be the one
When the day is through
Oh Molly Molly
Will I be with you
Tell me what to do
Oh Molly Molly
Let me follow through
'Cos I am lost at sea
Oh Molly Molly
Haven't got a clue
All I have to show
For all the years below
Only Molly knows
When the lights go down
Oh Molly Molly
Will you be around
When the lights are gone
Oh Molly Molly
Will you leave the town
Tell me what is wrong
Oh Molly Molly
Let me sing a song
'Cos I have lost the will
Oh Molly Molly
Cannot carry on
All I have to show
For all the years below
Only Molly knows
When the day is done
Oh Molly Molly
Will I be the one
When the day is through
Oh Molly Molly
Will I be with you
Tell me what to do
Oh Molly Molly
Let me follow through
Where are we to be tomorrow Molly
Haven't got a clue
All I have to show
For all the years below
Mother are you mad at me
Mother are you scared
That someday you will turn around
And look to find your blue-eyed boy's not there
But mother don't you worry
Mother don't you fret
Cos we've been through so much pain and joy and suffering
For me to forget
The times we had together
Times that were so full (??)
But time's gone by before my eyes
And I realise
Time was often cruel
So mother don't you worry
Mother don't you cry
Cos there'll come a day
When I will take the reins
From your fair hands and wave bye bye
Some people never learn
Keep taking every turn
A little fast
Thinking nothing ever lasts
Descending (?) oh so sweet
Keep playing in my sleep
But when I wake
I can never recall a thing
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this charmed life that we lead
Something is crying out
Through voices in my tears
Hear the voice crying out
In the strangest memories
Never mind
And reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this charmed life that we lead
Sorry to disappoint you
I never said that I could tell right from wrong
So don't put your faith on me now
I'll leave you in suspension
Till you fall
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this short life that we lead
And the reason being
Just a simple suggestion
That you don't need to follow
We could make it out of here
We could be there tomorrow
'Cos there's always tomorrow
You're so silly, oh so silly
Especially just ordinary
We've got nothing to hurt now
We're green behind the ears
Just a pocket of people
With their ordinary faces
As the crow flies
They got further to fly
nobody really knows where they're supposed to go
hiding behind a wall
afraid that they'll lose it all
but it's alright
just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark
in the moonlight you'll dance til you fall
and always be here in my heart
but nobody wants to know
cos nobody even cares
everyone's on the make
yeah and everyone's out for themselves
me i'm on the longest road
where everything's overload
but i've got my heart and soul
so don't throw me overboard
cos it's alright
just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark
in the moonlight
you'll dance til you fall and always be here in my heart
cos it's alright
just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark
in the moonlight
you'll dance til you fall
and always be here in my heart
cos it's alright alright now
and you're alright
I'm high high high as a kite
I'm high high high as a kite
And I just might try and do it tonight
But only when the time is right
I'm low low low as you go
I'm low though I've been here before
If I go any lower you know
I'm gonna tell you that the time is right
I thought today the grey would all go away
That the blue was there so roses were red
But instead the red has gone to his bed
Oh no
I'm high high high as a kite
I'm high high high as a kite
And I just might try and do it tonight
But only when the time is right
Yeah I just might try and do it tonight
It's another summer holiday
We go looking out for the good time girls
Good time girls smarter than normal girls
Good time girls drinking and taking pills
Good time girls having a good time
Sit in the sun drinking expensive wine
Good time girls I want to be with you
Pick me up when I am feeling blue
It's another summer holiday
We go looking down for the good time girls
Good time girls smarter than normal girls
Good time girls straight hair and hair that curls
Good time girls having a good time
Sit in the sun drinking electric wine
Good time girls will you come out with me
Making me happy bringing me cups of tea (ha!)
Oh yes
If you find the time to get away
Opportunity may come your way
You can take a bus or catch the train
Let me tell you now you'll want to stay
Sky was brown
Trees were green
Birds all sang a song in vain
City in the rain
We were sitting in the
Sitting in the city in the rain
Won't you tell me what you came to see
Came to see the university
I trust you had a very pleasant day
Actually it wasn't quite that way
The sky was brown
Trees were green
The birds all sang a song in vain
City in the rain
We were sitting in the
Sitting in the city in the rain
Oh what fun we had
T he weather wasn't that bad
There just is no sun
Oh no here it comes
If you find the time to get away
Opportunity may come your way
You can take a bus or catch the train
Let me tell you now you'll want to stay
The sky was brown
The trees were green
The birds all sang a song in vain
City in the rain
We were sitting in the
When tomorrow becomes yesterday
You need a (...) says
When the crowd don't swallow you up
It's such a sad day (?)
Oh no
Doesn't need anybody to mess you up
Doesn't need anybody to kiss you
Doesn't need and they don't really miss you
They do
Don't you
It's true
When you're feeling
Blue on a black weekend
Come and see me when you need a friend
Blue on a black weekend
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're not having a solo ballot (?)
Tonight's proved lame
Burn your telly
Causes to blame for all your blue days (?)
Oh no
Doesn't need anybody to mess you up
Doesn't need anybody to kiss you
Doesn't need and they don't really miss you
They do
Don't you
It's true
When you're feeling
Blue on a black weekend
Come and see me when you need a friend
Blue on a black weekend
I would really like to talk with you
Girl
Do you have the time to stop
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk away
I'm a foot without a sock
Without you
Love
You seem to work around the clock
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk
Just rock
Hey!
Love!
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Sure it's a gas
(We're) Stuck in an English class
Can't even dream
So it's hard to accept the role you're given
When you're sittin' there staring at the ceiling
Wishing you were so very far from here
When you're 13
What fors and whys
If he's got it why can't I
You're my queen
And I dream about you when I'm in my bed
And if all of these things are like you said
Then I'd rather be in another scene
When I'm 14
Just not fair
I'm not getting anywhere
Oh hard as a stone
They expect us to make it out alone
And they scream at us when we're on the phone
And they lecture us all about routine
When you're 15
Get out of here
You're crowding my tender years
Don't say you see
Cos you'd forgotten what it's like to be
And I'm sure that it's changed to some degree
Christ's advice ain't never as it seemed
When you're 16
Four years go
You've fallen before you know
You're now of age
And you're thrown in a different cage
And you're faced with another blank page
Sometime I get so low
It take a while to show
But when it go
It go
Just need some time alone
No friends, no telephone
Is this too much to ask
Sometimes I feel so tired
I'm dizzy, closed my eyes (?)
But please don't ask me why
Just need some time with you
In 1922
Your company's so very cool
Sometime I get so low
It take a while to show
But when it blows
You'll know
Just need some time with you
In 1922
It's 1922
I was alone
I found love
Now I got some (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You came along
Right on time
With a new song (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Now there's nothing in this life now that could go wrong
Oh no (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Not me (yeah you you you)
How could (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You do (do do do do)
The more I see
The more I want of you
I was afraid
I would be sad and lonely
I was afraid
You would not be my one and only
Well I got so hung
Now I'm gonna stake my pony
Oh no (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Not me (yeah you you you)
How do (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You do (do do do do)
The more I see
The more I want of you
Was a world outside my window
Should I hide from it
Tired of it
People think they're funny when they haven't the wit
Others think they're gorgeous but inside they feel shit
Many think they're brainy but they haven't a clue
And I think I'm clever cos I'm singing this to you
We are wrong, we are wrong
We are all so, so wrong
We are monkeys
We are false, we run true
We should be in the zoo with our uncles
And if you don't believe
Go and climb up a tree and you'll love it
You're a fool to believe anymore
So believe you're a monkey
All the clever monkeys telling us what to do
Telling us to stay in line and join the monkey queue
Thinking that they're special cos they went to private zoo
One day soon they're gonna end up in a monkey stew
They are wrong, they are wrong
They are all so, so wrong
They are monkeys
They are false, They run true
They should be in the zoo with their uncles
And if you don't believe
Go and climb up a tree and you'll love it
You're a fool to believe anymore
Walking down this hill tonight
I had a thought all to myself
As I contemplated the moonlight
We've got it all, we've got it made
I don't know how I got here
But I'm holding on for the crash
Pull myself out of the moon
I know I'll never go there but
It's shining down from up on high
We got it made, we got it made
I don't know what we gotta make
Sooner or later we die
We're apart, go to pieces
While I go to sleep
Look into my heart, oh baby
Don't become a part of the past
You can be a part of the key
Don't turn away, don't run away
Don't leave me hanging by a thread
Shine a little love down on me
We're in love, make your peace
Wasting time is all you need
Walking down this hill tonight
I had a thought it was my own
Moon swept by the clouds and save the starlight
Or shall I be or shall I not be
I don't know I just don't
Look at me I'm so disgusting
I will never find another
Quite like you
You make me blue
With the things you do
Look at you you're so familiar
We could be so cool together
All the time
Could all be fine
We're on the line
The line is fine
Open up ma window
The line is fine
Standing on the ledge
Well I don't look down
Looking at the people
Well they all look fine
It's not just life or death
Yesterday we talked together
But tonight it's just the weather
Chillin' me
What's the point in silly talking
We could get there quicker walking
Down the line
Could all be fine
But we're on the line
The line is fine
But staring at the faces
Standing in a row
Thinking of all the places
When the laughter fades away
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When there's nothing left to say
Ma vie
My oh my
It's the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When the spotlight fades away
Ma vie
C'est la vie
When the blue skies turn to grey
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
It's the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When the laughter fades away
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When there's nothing more to say
Ma vie
My oh my
It's the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
Ma vie
In the church one day you will get hurt
In the school teacher's such a fool
And if they would ever come round here
They would ever come
Blame it on my style
Take a pill
Don't tell me how to feel
Bad news and tunes
Sing it from the high
Singing some sad song
Uncle Sam, playing in the sand
Understand, hold my hand
Time is never gonna stop running
Never gonna stop
Take me to the top
Of the trees
Don't take me for a cracked window pane
Bad news and tunes
Are shining from the high
Singing some sad song
Don't rehearse, this is the last verse
In the hearse, going through your purse
And if they would ever laugh, not here
They would ever laugh
Blame it on my style, once again
Don't take me for a ride
In the rain
Bad news and tunes
Shining from the high
Like a melody that is impossible to play, I wait
In my memory there's a part of you that's gone away, yeah
To keep my mind from wondering
I'm wondering
to keep myself on falling in
I'm following
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
I'd tell you anything if i had anything to say, yeah
i keep it bottled in 'cause there's a time and there's a place for this, yeah
i keep my story where it is
an act as if
I don't even know what it is
when all i need is
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Now it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta money
And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty
She made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish, I'm sad
And I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
What are we gonna do
When you stop crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dying
Chasing away the blues
I know you're trying
And nobody wants to lose
I don't know why
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
What are you gonna say
When they stop laughing?
You're giving it all away
When you've got nothing
How many times a day
You feel like walking?
Taking a holiday from
All the shy
But I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
And you've got to grab
The bull by the horns, my friend
It's the only way to go
And when the story's told
We can go home
So what are we gonna do
When you stop crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dying
Keeping away the blues
You know I'm trying
What have you got to lose
And testify
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away, I'm sailing away
In my perfect heaven space
There's a picture of you
To think of all the time I've wasted
Not looking at you
Answering the question
Before it's been asked
The answer's in the question
I hope you don't ask
In my perfect heaven space
There's an answer for you
And on my heart I wear a sleeve
That you knitted from me
And you just wanna pull that thread
And unravel me
Answering the question
Before it's been asked
The answer's in the question
I hope you don't ask
On my heart I wear a sleeve
That you knitted from me
In my perfect heaven space
There's a memory of you
To think of all the ghosts I faced
Just remembering you
Answering the question
Before it's been asked
The answer's in the question
I hope you don't ask
In my perfect heaven space
There's a man on the street,
And he looks at his feet form his window.
And he sweares at the sun,
And he curses the moon for its shadow.
Ohh..
Take a leaf from his book
Take a thread from his suite
He's a new man
And he prays to his god
That he reaps his reward
For his new plan
Oh, the mould has been cast
The radio's in the bath
Yeah yeah yeah
Labor tuus nunc ad terminum
Sed per deos, vade retro
Nomen nusquan video
Carbo in culo in aeternitatem
I'm sick & tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bundle of hope
It's money for dope
Money for rope
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mother's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac prima donnas
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap
It's money for dope
Everyday faces that say hello
Everyday faces that come and go
Everyday faces that stay the same
Everyday day after day
There was a day
When all everything changed
People all came
Stood in the rain
They ain't got a cent (they not the same)
Policeman walked in
The statues all waiting (???)
They wanted a change
Everyday face
Was a time all we could do was try
Was a time when we could say goodbye
Now you find you never do a thing (the same)
Does today feel the same way
Cos there was a day
When all had been changed
People all came
Danced in the rain
They ain't got a cent
And a policeman walked in
The statues all wait (??)
All the same
Everyday face
There was a day
When everything changed
The people all came
Danced in the rain
They're in pain
A policeman walked in
All the statues are waiting
They wanted a change
From an everyday face
Now you're looking at me
Like I'm so passe
I'm a disgrace
Who cheers you up
When you are down
Who brings you cups of coffee
Who picks you up
When you're in town
Whatever makes you happy
And I'm glad you're better now
But I'm sad you're not around
Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence
ooohhh...
ooohhh...
Who wakes you up
When you're late for work
Who makes the bed so lovely
Who found your sock
Who picked your shirt
Whatever makes you love me
And I'm glad I'm better now
But I'm sad you're not around
Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence
ooohhh...
ooohhh...
Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence
Friends
Will never decieve you
and turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence
A little piece of everything
That's ever been or will
Is shining for you still
Look up
Start from start, and try again
To see it through the smoke
And the mirrors that you've broke
For love
And it feels like something just stole my spirit
Snook up on me when I couldn't hear it
But I can see the enemy, he's done alright for me
And somewhere inside of me
I can see my enemy
Pick a window, pick a sight
It's just a choice you make
Another little break in us
Time and time and time again
You see it through the cracks
Bitter words you like is enough
And it feels like something just stole my spirit
Snook up on me when I couldn't hear it
But I can see the enemy, he's done alright for me
And somewhere inside of me
I can see my enemy
But I can see the enemy, he's done alright for me
And somewhere inside of me
I'm in love with everything
With every face I've ever seen
And every place I've ever been
Has left its mark upon my worries
I color in the world I see
I pick apart the melody
'Cause maybe there's a symphony
Caught inside but there's no way out
And the sky is falling down
And there's an angel on the ground
It's getting colder
I'm standing looking down
There's not a sound around the town
It's getting colder, colder
I would show everything
But everything is too extreme
We'll wait and see the entropy
At the end when we all stop lying
But the sky is falling down
And there's an angel on the ground
It's getting colder
I'm standing looking down
There's not a sound around the town
It's getting colder
The sky is falling down
And there's an angel on the ground
It's getting colder
I'm standing looking down
There's not a sound around the town
It's getting colder
The sky is falling down
And all the people on the ground
Are getting colder
I'm standing looking down again
But you can't help me now
The snow was falling on his shoulders by the side of
the road
And he watched as the sun went down
Falling on the building
Swallowing the children
It's the gun in your back
It's the heart attack
It's the way you look back before you step out
In time to see the number of the bus that's running
you down
A million lonely people with their head in the sand
Trying to make some sense of what they don't
understand
Waiting on somebody just to give them a hand
You're designed to fall apart on the day the warrenty
ends
And you try but you just can't stop
Running round in circles
Knocking over hurdles
It's the knife in your back
It's the heart attack
It's the way you look back before you step out
In time to see the shadow of the one that's cutting
you down
The snow was falling on his shoulders by the side of
the road
And he watched as the lights came on below
And the children were sleeping
And the women were weeping
There's a boy I know so well
He hides inside his padded cell
And he can see that he will never be quite free
He takes his time, steps carefully
There's a girl I see sometimes
She hides behind a dirty mind
And she can see that she will never be quite free
She takes her time, steps carefully
Free to make your mind up
Free to choose your fate
Free to hold your hand up
Free, don't leave me standing in the way
'Cause I like you and I'd like to
Be free, be free, be free, be free
[Incomprehensible]
There's a place I know so well
To escape my tired spell
'Cause we can see that we will never be quite free
To take our time, step carefully
Free to make your mind up
Free to choose your fate
Free to hold your hand up
Free, don't leave me standing in the way
'Cause I like you and I'd like to
Be free, be free, be free, be free
Yeah, I like you and I'd like to
I look around for faces I know
I never ever want to go home
My friends are in bed but I'm best on my own
I'm terrified of driving a car
Afraid I'm afraid of the dark
But it happened before in a different bar
And I know it's late but won't you take me home
I must have thought of getting out now
But how am I gonna get out
When even the names stay the same
Just the faces change
It's easier to stare at the sun
Than look at all the things that you've done
Intentions were good but so was the fun
And you know it's wrong it can't go on for long
I must have thought of getting out now
But how am I going to get out
When even the names stay the same
Just the faces change
Just the faces change
I must have thought of getting out now
But how am I going to get out
When even the names stay the same
Just the faces change
everyday in every way i'm falling
everything that everyone says turns me on/off
shine a light on me
so that everyone can see that i wanna stay here indefinitely
time exists but just on your wrist so don't panic
moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day
so wind your watches down please
cos there's no time to lose
and i'm gonna stay here indefinitely
and i wanna stay here so just let me be
now i can see the light circling round your reflection
and i'm gonna stay here indefinietely
and i'm gonna stay here so just let me be
indefinitely
indefinitely
indefinitely
indefinitely
indefinitely
You were on my mind
Inside the cinema
You looked so beautiful
I almost had to go
And when I got outside
I thought of you again
I think you should be framed
In some Fine Art gallery
I know you'd disagree with me
But I love you anyways
And should I climb high my
Dreary city walls
They make me feel so small
Oh let me fade away
This city's so cold & old
Forever rain or snow
I'd really love to come and go
Oh won't you go stay with me
I know you'd disagree with me
I just know you'd disagree
But I love you anyways
You were on my mind
Inside the cinema
You looked so beautiful
I almost dried an eye
And when I got outside
I caught the 44
It dropped me outside my front door
How many hearts
Does it take to break
All of the bonds
That young lovers make
Hoping to find
The next golden egg
One that will shine
Through the rest of time
How many roads
Must there need to be
Hoping inside
You could mean to me
Open your mouth
Build your sermon there
Give me more time
Do the best I can
Hopelessly hoping our plan will wake up
Hoping it all will be fine
Holding our candles through weather or not
Love be the enemy now
Now for the rest of time
A long time ago
There was only me
And there was no
Rings eternally
Won't be the same
No one there to blame
No longer care
And you are, and you are a new age...
Hopelessly hoping our plan will wake up
Hoping it all will be fine
Holding our candles through weather or not
Love be the enemy now
Now for the rest of time
If you knew what I know
Then you'd be a bit like me
Oh yes you would
If the birds refuse to fly
They might try to buzz in line (?)
Oh yes we would
We're all showered in hazy shades of gold
Everything the way it should be
I suppose, I suppose
If you knew false from true
Dougie, get back! Get back! Thanks.
Yes you would, touching would (wood)
If you only did... ooh, it'd be so good
If you knew what I know
Then you'd be a bit like me
Yes you would, touching would (wood)
If you only did it'd be so good
We're all showered in hazy shades of gold
Everything the way it should be
It starts in the morning
When you're lying next to me
I'm rolling, I'm rolling
I'm rolling so quickly
Now I'm not a doctor
And I'm not a lawyer
I get a prescription and set it on fire
Blow me a kiss
I'll be happy the rest of my life
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'ause you're so happy
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
Oh - oh - aw
And I'm so happy
And I really shouldn't like it
But I love it
When I say I'm not excited
You're invited
And I think I'm getting older
There's this weight across ma shoulders
It's a shame we're the same
Such a shame I'm to blame all the time
But early this evening
I wanted to be with you
I got on the blower
The next thing I know you're speaking
Now I'm gonna tell you what I've been thinking
And I got a hunch that you're thinking the same thing
And with some luck
We'll be lying together tonight
Oh - oh - ah
Oh - oh - ah
Oh - oh - ah
I've got a good feeling
Like I know how I'm feeling
Scraping me off the ceiling
Back to that good feeling
Now I find it hard living
Wasting our time giving
When will we all give in
Into that good feeling
Now I got a good feelin'
Like I know how I'm feelin'
Scrapin' me off the ceiling
Back to that good feeling
You picked a time, a very fine time
To look at me, you'd see that I was fine
You're happy too, just towing on your line
But you're afraid of what you'll find behind
In twenty years from now I'll be the same
And you'll be changing all the letters
In your maiden name
Ah you're thikin' that we're one
But we'll never be the same
'Cause I got a good feeling
That I know I'm not missing
Anything you're giving
I once found a beautiful bird
Upon my ground all battered and hurt
And I mended its wing
And I taught it how to sing
As time passed on
There came a song
That I had never heard
Now it was a haunting melody
And she played it just for me
So don't let go
My beautiful bird
Don't say no
My beautiful bird
Don't say no
Until you have heard
What I have to say
That she don't find love everyday
Don't let go
My beautiful bird
Don't say no
Until you have heard
What I have to say
That she don't find love everyday
I once found a beautiful bird
Upon my ground all battered and hurt
Now I mended its wing
And I taught it how to sing
So don't let go
My beautiful bird
Don't say no
Until you have heard
What I have to say
The day we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn their heads every place we go
So won't you please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
I'll make you happy baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you till eternity
So won't you please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my, be my baby)
It's so sad to be alone
No one cares for no one's home
So if you're there
Pick up the phone
Cos I'm standing on my own
Ain't it good to know you're right
And don't it soothe (suit) the darker nights
But pretty soon it will be light
Ain't it good to know you're right
But I'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you got nowhere to go
And you could spend the night with me
I will sleep on the settee
It's so sad to be alone
No one cares cos no one's home
So if you're there
Pick up the phone
Because I'm standing on my own
feeling myself all of the time
all of the time feeling alright
taking a while raising a smile makes it all worthwhile
but if you wanted to find peace of mind
then you could find it any time you liked
you are the afterglow
feeling my way all of the time
all of the time doing just fine
taking a page out of my life
out of my life wouldn't it be nice
but if you wanted to find peace of mind
then you couldn't find it any time you liked
you are the afterglow
you are the midnight show
the only one i know
you come and then you go
and when you finally leave
in the days before you were young
we used to sit in the morning sun
we used to turn the radio on
what happened?
we'd see our lies in the eyes of fate
and take our cradles to the grave
but even then we're never saved
from danger
and if you ever leave me come
i will be there waiting
waiting for you know i will
i love you for ever
i'll never say never
but i've only got two hands
and i'll never learn to dance
i'll never get a second chance
whatever
i'll take the breath away from your sighs
and wipe the tears away from your eyes
and hope the fire never dies
inside you
and if you ever leave me come
i will be there waiting
waiting for you know i will
i love you
i love you
i love you...
in the days before you were young
we used to sit in the morning sun
we used to turn the radio on
you broke the bread
we drank the wine
your lip was bleedin' but it was fine
come on inside babe
across the line
i love you more than i
but then this bird just flew away
she was never meant to stay
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
you broke your word
now that's a lie
we had a deal that you would try
come on inside girl
i think it's time
high time we drew the line
but then this bird just flew away
while i looked the other way
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
you broke my soul dear
you stole the plot
you left an empty shot
there's nothing left here
cos you took the lot
an empty cage is all i've got
cos when your bird has flown away
she was never meant to stay
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my head won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
And that won't do
Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my head should go away
Still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
And that won't do
You know it's you
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Outside in
Songs we've shared
We don't care
Where is the love
Now we regret nothing yet
Don't forget
We must get some love
Now I'm not saying love is gone
But I'm afraid that everytime I read the paper
Watch the TV
There's not a lot of love anymore
Or could it be that simple
Or could it be that bold
Now I'm not saying love is blind
But I'm afraid that everytime I read the paper
Or watch the TV
There's not a lot of love anymore
Or could it be that simple
Or could it be that bold
Outside in
Songs we've shared
We don't care
When I'm feeling blue
I close my eyes and think of you
Standing by a pool
I hope that you remember too
On a lonely long and winding road
Hopelessly and lonely you're not alone
And all alone
When I'm feeling grey
I close my eyes and drift away...
On another day
But not today
Another day
On a lonely long and winding road
Hold me still and tell me I'm not alone
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning comes
I don't wanna rock, baby don't wanna rock
I just feel I'm stuck up against the clock
I don't really wanna rock tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
I don't wanna roll, baby don't wanna roll
I just feel I'm cold like I'm getting old
I don't really wanna roll tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
Please, please don't turn out the light
Rock'n'roll village man
Northern soul peter pan
Rock'n'roll rocket man
Skater phase desperate Dan
Rock'n'roll never sounded better
I don't wanna be, baby don't wanna be
I just feel it's me falling off the tree
I don't really wanna be tonight
I only wanna keep you right
I don't wanna try, baby don't wanna try
I just feel I'm dry trying to get by
I don't really wanna try tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
Please, please don't turn out the light
Rock'n'roll rocket man
Skater phase desperate Dan
Rock'n'roll village man
Northern soul peter pan
You can...
I don't wanna rock, baby don't wanna rock
I just feel I'm stuck up against the clock
I don't really wanna rock tonight
I only wanna keep you right
I don't wanna roll, baby don't wanna roll
I just feel I'm cold like I'm getting old
I don't really wanna roll tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
Can you see the moonbeam
And the colors of the lights?
They're like flowers blooming in motion
Watching them fade, the last fireworks of the night
(Tonight)
I begin to wake to relive this memory
When the answer is clear and beyond belief
There's a gift of love that awaits the final day
But tonight, tonight
Under the moonlight with the one you love
Under the big sky for the one you love
Riding under the moonlight with the one you love
Going places together tonight
In the far distance as the dream nears the end
And summer lovers pass the time
Holding on to what they can't keep
Into the horizon where the ocean meets the sky
So gather up your voice 'cause tonight's the night, tonight
Under the moonlight with the one you love
Under the big sky for the one you love
Riding under the moonlight with the one you love
Going places together tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Stars light up the coastline
And we'll feel this way
For today and for all time
Under the moonlight with the one you love
Under the big sky for the one you love
Riding under the moonlight with the one you love
Under the moonlight
Oh we're going places together tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Calling all you non-achievers
We are as one and we make a stand
Our wishes of no direction
Repay (?) the same till we reach the end
I imagine all these people
Running up to shake our hands
As we walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be famous
Yellow buses, streams of caravans
Winding the highway like a snake
Pity all those unbelievers
Busy in life till they make the grey
I imagine ancient places
Sunbeat in some endless heat as
We walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be dreamers
We walk along we could be strangers
We walk along we could be dangerous
I imagine all these places
I imagine all these things as
We walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be invisible
We walk along we could be strangers
We walk along we could be dangerous
We walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be invisible
We walk along we could be strangers
We're tied to the 90's
In the middle
It's terribly frightening
I'm takin' it fast
Takin' it slow
There's thunder & lightning
It's terribly frightening
Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so
Well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Tied to the 90's
Remember the 80's
(They were something)
Were worse than the 90's
We're stuck in a path
Where fashion is fast
And nothin' is lasting
It's all ghetto blasting
And Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
Tied to the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Oh, we're tied to the 90's
We're tied of the 90's
We're tired of the nines
Tied to the nines
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No" was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
Picked up my bag, went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
"Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's OK, just feed him when you can"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
In the church
One day you'll get hurt
In the school
Teachers such a fool
And if they would ever come round here
They would ever come
Blame it on my style
Take a pill
Don't tell me how to feel
Bad news in twos
Sing it from the highest hill
Sing me some sad song
Uncle Sam
Playing in the sand
Understand
Hold my hand
Time is never gonna stop running
Never gonna stop
Take me to the top of the tree
Don't take me for a cracked window pane
Bad news in twos
Shout it from the highest hill
Sing me some sad song
Don't rehearse
This is the last verse
In the hearse
Going through your purse
And if they would ever laugh
Not here
They would ever laugh
Blame it on my style
Once again
Don't take me for a ride in the rain
Bad news in twos
Shout it from the highest hill
Sing me some sad song
All of the King's horses and all of the King's men
Couldn't pull my heart back together again
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two
'Cause all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the clue
So, I'm gonna give my heart to you
I had a premonition, a movie in my mind
Confirming my suspicions of what I would find
It followed me to a way, down to Mexico
Came in through the back door at the start of the show
Still all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the clue
So I give my heart to you
Oh, was a perfect day
Oh, in a perfect way
You know something had to go
You left me high
You left me low
Now as I lie in pieces and wait for your return
The sun upon my forehead, it burns baby burns, baby burns
An eye on all my horses
You've slept with all my men
I'm never gonna get it together again
Still all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the clue
So I give my heart to you
Yeah, you got the clue
And there's nothing I can do
Yeah, you got the clue
All I wanted was the chance to say,
I would like to see you in the morning.
Rolling over to have you there,
Would make it easy for a little bit longer.
But here
Closer every year
So near
The fear is coming clear
My dear
The fear is here
Hottest summer in a hundred years.
But summer didn't bother getting up this morning.
And so all the trees forgot to wake.
They were dropping all their leaves,
on the ground below them.
But here
Closer every year
So near
The fear is coming clear
My dear
The fear is here
All I wanted was the chance to say,
I would like to see you in the morning.
Rolling over just to have you there.
Would make it easy for a little bit longer.
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
How you were gonna stay free?
But they had plans for you
And things to do
The same thing goes for me
Well, well, I never
Saw it coming to me
But when I turned around to look at you
It was all that I could do
To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one
In the beginning
Everything was so close
And it seemed that everywhere you go
Everybody knows
You don't remember
What you wanted to be
Well, they went 'round the class and you were last
The clock was fast, so no one asked
To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one
Well, how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you're after
Year after, year after year
Well, I've been looking
But I still can't see
How we get from A to B to C
And feel like we should be
Well, I've been running
But I've been running around
Now there's nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view
And see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
I stayed in town for a while
Watching cars pass me by
And I'm trying not to get too high
But then I realised
Is there only one direction
Is there only right from wrong
Got to make the right connection
On my own
I never said you would cry
But I lied, now I lied
Now he's crying just to get by
Just to find, find out why
There is only one direction
There is only right from wrong
Got to make the right connection
On their own
I stuck around for a while
Watch the grass getting high
And I try not to think for a while
But then I had to smile
Cos there's only one direction
Is there only one way home
Got to make the right connection
I'm singing a song to myself
I’m singing a song to myself
Pictures in your mind
Out of focus and unkind
Picture me
I picture you
Outside the sun is shining
At the back of your mind there’s a memory
By the time you hear this I’ll be gone
I’m singing a song to myself
Cos I don’t belong any longer
Just making it up in my head
This feeling is strong and getting stronger
Do you see the light?
Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head
Cos I need someone to sing along with
Sing along with
Pictures in your heart
Out of focus torn apart
Picture me
I picture you
Outside the moon is shining
At the back of your mind there’s a memory
By the time you hear this I’ll be gone
I’m singing a song to myself
Cos I don’t belong any longer
Just making it up in my head
This feeling is strong and getting stronger
Do you see the light?
Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head
Cos I need someone to sing along with
Sing along with...
Yeah...
ooohhh...
I’m singing a song to myself
Cos I don’t belong any longer
Just making it up in my head
This feeling is strong and getting stronger
Do you see the light?
Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head
Cos I need someone to sing along with
Home and away
Life goes on the same, bury the pain
And hold on to love
Heal the song, sing along
But what does it change
Oh this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing
Come in knowing everything
But don't say a word, till they teach you the way
Words are found too close to the edge
That we don't dare sing
This will turn into something else, something else
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?
And you said I should be myself
Despite all the wrong, dragging you back
Forgive and then forgone and on and on and on and on
This life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing
And this'll turn into something else, something else
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
So low, why do you have to get so low
You're so, you've been waiting in the sun too long
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Colder crying on your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her every thing's gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going too early
Hurry 'cos no one's gonna be stopped
Na na na na
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sign
Ohh baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Well I believe there's someone watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die, they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realize one day
That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out, you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side, side, side
We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and minor key
Just open up the chord
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side, side, side, side
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out, you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out, you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side, side, side, side side, side, side, side
Where are you goin' tonight?
Where do you dance when you turn of the light?
In your eyes as they're rollin' your hair
Spin you around as you lie on the bed
But I'm not keepin' time upon the creepin' vine, vine
He was the one made you fall
But he couldn't help you at all, not at all
So he packed up and jumped from the wall
Pushing his luck past the ghosts in the hall
Still I'm not keepin' time upon the creepin' vine, vine
Oh, Sarah
You've done it all to yourself
With your bottle of gin on the shelf
And your love letters sent to yourself
Oh, Sarah
You used to say you were lucky
Now your luck's runnin' off down the stairs
To the arms of another
At the back of her mind there's a photograph
Of a child all alone in the dark
She can tell by the bell ringing back at her she's lost
Where are you goin' tonight
Dressed like a ragdoll with holes in your tights?
In your eyes as they're rollin' your hair
Spin you around as you fall out the bed
But I'm not keepin' time upon the creepin' vine, vine
Oh, Sarah
You've done it all to yourself
With your bottle of gin on the shelf
And your love letters sent to yourself
Oh, Sarah
You used to say you were lucky
Now your luck's runnin' off down the stairs
And you realize nobody cares
Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions
But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
I read it all every word and I still don't understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard?
Was it love, was it take another walk in the dark?
You'll never learn
I'd pray to God if there was Heaven
But Heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing
I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind
I had been dreaming but I didn't mind
And I signed the line and the woman looked right through me
She didn't smile
I'd pray to God if there was Heaven
But Heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing
I'd pray to God if there was Heaven
But Heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pints please
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing
And it all boils down to the same old fear
Just a link in a chain, just a puppet on a string
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose
Whether you win or you lose
Whether you win or you lose
Now I don't know that your tie is straight
Your words are crooked and you're gonna pay
In ten years time they're gonna say
That this was the momment when you threw it away
And it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out
Now I don't know what you're talking about
There's too much shit pouring out of your mouth
The time is up, the secret's out
The truth's gonna catch you going south
But it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, so use it
Yeah but it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out
Paperclips, melody
Hold together all these memories
Memories
Memories
I don't wanna think at all
I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't wanna be like you anymore, anymore, anymore
Take a trip, down memory lane
You will never wanna go again
Take your leave
Take your leave
I don't wanna sing at all
I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't want to live like you anymore, anymore, anymore
Ever talk, decide out
We get by, we'll get by
And I won't take this
No more sadness, no, no
Paperclips, memories
Hold together all these melodies
Melodies
Melodies
I don't want to sing at all
I don't want to be like you anymore
I don't want to see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
Deep in my heart there’s no room for crying
But I’m trying to see your point of view
Deep in my heart I’m afraid of dying
I’d be lying if I said I’m not
Welcome in, welcome in
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in
You’re welcome
It’s a sin, it’s a sin
Where birds of a feather
Are welcome to land on you
Ya ya yay, ya ya yay
You got my eyes
And we can’t see what you’ll be
You can’t disguise
But either way I will pray
You will be wise
Pretty soon you will see
Tears in my eyes
As each day goes by makes way for another
We discover that we’re not alone
And each day we try the best we can to discover
All the feelings that we left below
Welcome in, welcome in
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in
You’re welcome
It’s a sin, it’s a sin
Where birds of a feather
Are welcome to land on you
Ya ya yay, ya ya yay
You got my eyes
And we can’t see what you’ll be
You can’t disguise
But either way I will pray
You will be wise
Pretty soon you will see
Tears in my eyes
Pretty soon you will see
Tears in my eyes
Pretty soon you will see
More than us
And we are them
But they don't know
What's in their hands
It's more than you
And it's more than
I But it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if it's love
At all
Not anymore
More than he
More than she
They all sleep
But we just dream
More or less
Means more for us
But it's more
And everybody wants a hand
But I'm too busy holding up the world
To carry on
No, not anymore
I wish that I
Could fly, fly, fly away
And if I should fall
And you hear me call
Would you stay
More than us
And we are them
But they don't know
What's in our heads
It's more than you
And it's more than
I But it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if this is love
At all
Not anymore
Anymore
If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this life
So look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
And you stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I've got a feeling
It's right
If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believing
The sound of the wings
Of the flight
Of a dove, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Oh, look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Love will come through
Love will come through
Wish someone would
Write me a song
Or tell me a story
So I don't need to worry
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somebody old
To watch over me
I need a little time
So I don't have to hurry
Oh, you say it all(?)
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation
I wish someone
Would answer
The phone
Stop leaving me
Hanging on
I'm feeling
Like a little ship
Out on the ocean
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somewhere
To hold the frustration
I need a little cause
For celebration
Oh, you say it all
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation
Growing up
Checking notes(?)
So you know
Just
Just which way to go
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You've just gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta gotta
Oh, you say it all
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
A funny thing to do
Is everyone like you
'Cause people seldom change
They all just stay the same
A funny thing to say
Suppose you're just that way
Although you're sure you're sure
There really is no cure
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
'Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny thing to do
Because the sky was blue
You ran away for good
'Cause no one understood
The funny things you said
Because the sky was red
It all went to your head
Because the sky was red
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
'Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny thing to do
Is everyone like you
'Cause people seldom change
when i first held i was cold
a melting snowman i was told
but there was no one there to hold
before i swore that i would be alone for ever more
wow look at you now
flowers in the window
it's such a lovely day
and i'm glad you feel the same
cos to stand up
out in the crowd
you are one in a million
and i love you so let's watch the flowers grow
there is no reason to feel bad
but there are many seasons to feel sad glad mad
it's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
but i am here to help you with the load
wow look at you now
flowers in the window
it's such a lovely day and i'm glad you feel the same
cos to stand up
out in the crowd
you are one in a million
and i love you so let's watch the flowers grow
so now we're here and now is fine
so far away from there and there is time time time
to plant new seeds and watch them grow
so there'll be flowers in the window when we go
wow look at us now
flowers in the window
it's such a lovely day and i'm glad you feel the same
cos to stand up

and i'm glad you feel the same cos to stand up
out in the crowd
you are one in a million
and i love you so let's watch the flowers grow
You think
I don't know
I swear
That I do
This time
On my hands
I've had all this time
And I got a kick out of you
Now I'm falling down
And I'm felling sick how 'bout you
Oh I'm falling
But you seem
Out of sorts
But I know
We'll be fine
These chances
We take
Time wastes
So much time
But I can't stand anymore
Without falling down
And I'm getting used to the floor
Forever falling
And I got a kick out of you
Now I'm falling down
And I'm feeling sick how 'bout you
Oh I'm falling
Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to oceans
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you
Nobody is an island
Everyone had to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow
And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
Everywhere there's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you
And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting, for a long, long
How many times have you walked through my door
How many times have you heard my song before
How many lines until the end of time
These are the days of our lives
How many times did you hear mother say
You would do fine if you didn't sleep all day
Oh mother dear, I'll get a job next year
These are the days of our lives
How many times did you walk down the street
Avoiding cracks that were thrown at your feet
These rainy days were sent to make us pay
But these are the days of our lives
How many roads must a woman walk down
How many walls will surround the town
All that I am could get us out of here
These are the days of our lives
Did you believe in the stories at night
Weren't you afraid when they turned out the light
Oh, such a gas, I'm sorry it won't last
These are the days of our lives
These are the days that some of us regret
These are the days we learn to forget
These are the days that turn us out this way
These are the days of our lives
Now people always come around
But they don't always stick around
I run a comb across my head
I wish my hair would settle down
The clock I see is running slow
The batteries are running low
I run a comb across my head
And it feels the same like it did before
You're just another first footer across my door
And little less care (hair?) than I had last year
But it doesn't worry me because I
I have no fear
Here
The car I see is painted black
I'm steering (staring) at the driver's back
He runs a comb across his head
And it feels the same like it did before
You're just another fresh fare across his door
And little less care than he had last year
But it doesn't worry him because he
He has no fear
Here, here
Now people always come around
But they don't always stick around
They run a comb across your head
I wish my hair would settle down
The clock I see is running slow
We've only got three years to go
We run our combs across our heads
And it feels the same like it did before
You're just another first footer across the door
And little less care than we took last year
But it doesn't worry us because we
We have no fear
Here
Have we
We have no fear
Have we
Closer
I've had enough
Of this parade
I'm thinking of
The words to say
We open up
Unfinished parts
Broken up
It's so mellow
And when I see you then i know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you
Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Keep waking up (waking up)
Without you here (without you here)
Another day (another day)
Another year (another year)
I seek the truth (seek the truth)
We set apart (we set apart)
Thinking of
A second chance (a second chance)
And when I see you then i know it will be next to me
And when I need you I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you
Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
And when I see you then i know it will be next to me
And when I need you I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you
Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Each time you go away
Part of you turns to gray
The jingle of the chains
Singled, rearrange
Broken mirror steal my reflection
Tell me what you see
A hundred shattered eyes in the
Looking glass staring back at me
Inside, inside
Inside tolls the bell
Outside all is well
Broken mirror steal my reflection
Tell me what you see
A hundred shattered eyes in the
Looking glass staring back at me
I never wanna be alone
I never ever wanna go home
Saturday evening
Saturday evening
A quarter to five
Oh we see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spitting alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrew
And it's sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore
Found on:
The Man Who
So you'd better hold on
Cos it's Saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like shit
Cos they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call, never call, never bloody ever ...
Call me a name and I'll hit you again
You're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a whore
Talk to your daddy in that tone of voice
There's a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room and you hide in your room
Thinking how you can settle the score
But it's Saturday night and a quarter to six
And your friends are all out
But you live in the sticks
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call, never call, never bloody ever call
Blue flashing light last Saturday night
Brought the neighbours all out on the street
Watched as the firemen carried you out
Then we stared at each other's feet
Now everyone sees and yet nobody says
Are we all just afraid of the heat?
But it's Saturday night and I'm lying alone
In the bed that I made, disconnected the phone
Still they never called you
No they never call you
And you know that I heard everything about you
And that's why it's quite hard to get through this alone
You're the only one I can talk to about it
In my darkest night, I will be on my own
These walls that we climb
Are hard to recognize
They fall when I say your name
Here we go, fast and slow
On the big chair
But we don't know where we're going
On the big chair
Don't you know it's hard, quite in the time of confusion?
To tell you that I love you
You see it could have been me instead of you
It could have been me if I wanted to
But it wasn't, so we'll have to face the truth
And these walls that we climb
Are hard to recognize
They fall when I say your name
Here we go, fast and slow
On the big chair
But we don't know, where we're going
On the big chair
Time to pull the shutters down
Breaking clouds don't make a sound
When they come
Here we go, fast and slow
On the big chair
But we don't know where we're going
On the big chair
Big chair, big chair, big chair
I'm not a racist but I am
I served my time in Vietnam
I've got three jobs, this is one
Sometimes I wish that I'd kept my gun
This country's going down the tubes
I can't afford to pay my dues
Unless you've got some sponsorship
For Christ sakes, buddy
Don't get sick
Don't grow old
Don't be poor
Do what you're told
Yeah, are you from Europe?
Well so am I, I came here in 1955
Half American, half asleep
Same day a rain will came
And wash the streets
The CIA, the KGB
It's all the same conspiracy
The whole damn country's on the skids
You better tell your kids
Don't get sick
Don't grow old
Don't be poor
Or underprivileged
Do exactly what you're told
Keep the meter running
Until we reach our destination
The grim reaper isn't coming
He's been otherwise detained
With apocalypse practice
And his other occupation
Behind the wheel of his taxi cab
That?s driving me insane
They took 4,000 headers on a bus ride
Left 'em dribbling at the seaside
Where the sun would keep them warm
Give a guy a uniform
They live out on the freeway now
They?re waiting till your car breaks down
Don't take the American dream to bed
(Jennifer Hanson/Kim Patton-Johnston)
You were born between a rock and a hard place
To a couple of losers
I lived on the other side of your duplex
I heard you getting those bruises
I never would've wanted to walk in your shoes
It scared me to death, I was a kid too
Sometimes I think about you
Travis are you out there somewhere
Searching for somebody to care
Are you doing the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis
Did you follow in your mama's footsteps
Strung out on bad things
Just a product of circumstances
Never taught what love means
Travis I hope you did it different this time
All you had to do was make up your mind
Well, how did you decide to live your life
Travis are you out there somewhere
Searching for somebody to care
Are you doing the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis
And the circle goes round
Until someone hears the sound
Of a breaking heart
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
 "Pin It")
